You can't run if they have something they want. Or they think you have something they want. I ran to a whole continent because some hard man thought I had his diamonds, but he found me. We have a whole planet that they think they own. They would follow us. A reputation of preventing people from escaping that they must maintain. It is worse here, yes.
Gliese says that everyone on the ship would die if one left. I believe her, it's common practice to punish everyone for the "failure" of a subordinate. Even if they tried their best.
[The point that has already been made, though.]
[But he does catch his meaning. Garrus doesn't want to abandon the ship, these people that he cares about. He thinks he's protecting them.]
Yes, they fed the idealists bullshit when they got here. To make it okay. They feed them bullshit to get them to go in the Black Box. Who knows. They might even believe it. The simple truth is, from now on you must pick who dies, who will hurt. There is no option for "no one". Ever. And you can't waste it on the impossible. Improbable, yes, but not impossible.
And if you fuck up, every person you care about might suffer. They might even ask you to do it.
